Galapagos Land Based Vacation
A paradise for nature lovers
If you’re looking for a land-based Galápagos vacation, this is the one for you. Hike, bike, snorkel, kayak and sail three of the archipelago’s most exotic islands on this eight-day Galápagos adventure.
- Ramble through 20-foot Lava Tunnels dripping with stalactites
- Snorkel with white-tipped sharks, manta rays and colorful tropical fish
- Swim with penguins and sea lions off a rocky shore
- Hike into the highlands of Floreana to a natural spring that once attracted pirates, whalers and early settlers
- Watch as a blue-footed booby dances in courtship
- Come nose to nose with a 600-pound, 150-year-old tortoise
- Play hide and seek with a doe-eyed sea lion pup off the nose of your kayak
- Trek to the caldera of Sierra Negra – at four miles across, it is the second largest in the world
- Top off the day with a plate of BBQ and warm Galapaguena hospitality before calling it a night in your carefully selected island lodge

Separated from the ocean only by a broad, white-sand, palm-lined beach, this oceanfront Lodge has a beautiful wooden deck by the sea for all to enjoy as well as a rooftop terrace with never-ending ocean vistas.
